Tips
The Fláje dam (Czech Údolní nádrž Fláje) is located in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains near Český Jiřetín ("Georgendorf") and dams the Flöha (Czech Flájský potok) in its upper reaches.The only pillar dam in the Czech Republic was completed in 1963. The dam is used as a drinking water reservoir for the Most district. The dam is 56 m high and 416 m (with “dam crown” (crown structure?) 459 m) long. The Fláje Dam reservoir covers an area of 153 hectares. The water is stowed from a catchment area of approx. 43 km².Two larger and one small hydropower plant with outputs of 2 x 4 MW and 16 kW use the dam water to generate electricity. The flowing water is dammed up again in the Rauschenbach dam below.More information: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talsperre_Fl%C3%A1je
